Scarsdale will rock out at the third annual Music Festival in Scarsdale Village from 12 – 7 pm. This year the event will feature two live stages, allowing bands to perform continuously all day.
In addition to the line-up of great music there will be food trucks, a Grand Wine Tasting tent and Family Fun Zone with a dazzling array of activities for the kids. It’s an ambitious community event and everyone is encouraged to come to the Village to enjoy it.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Who’s playing

A selection of savory and sweet offerings from Green Street Food Truck, Longfords Ice Cream, Meritage, One Rare Italian Steakhouse, Pizza Vitale Truck, Poke Motion Truck, Popojito, Rockland’s Kettle Corn Truck, and Westchester Burger Truck will be on site.
Also, the Scarsdale Police Benevolent Association will host its annual BBQ Bash, and the Scarsdale Uniformed Firefighters Association will be serving brisket and pulled pork sandwiches.
Wine Tasting
The Grand Tasting Tent, presented by Zachys, will feature a selection of fine wines from around the world, spirit cocktails and craft beer. Guests will have the chance to taste, talk and learn from industry experts in this uniquely curated tasting event. It is a VIP experience with prime stage viewing not to be missed!
For the Kids
This year’s expanded Family Fun Zone is presented by Scarsdale Moms, and will feature numerous vendors and activities geared towards pre-school and elementary-aged children, including balloon artists, face painters, arts and crafts, DIY slime, beading, STEAM activities, sports, music demonstrations and more!
Where to find it all
Here’s a map of the festival in the Village.
It’s a Zero-Waste Festival
A wonderful aspect of the festival is that the Scarsdale Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) each year makes the event “zero-waste.” They do this by working with the festival food vendors to make sure everything they serve in is compostable or recyclable.
At the event the CAC has several “zero-waste stations” with recycling, compost and trash bins. The stations are staffed by volunteers who speak with people as they are disposing items and ensure everything goes into the proper bin.
The amazing effect of this effort is that the event, even with its thousands of attendees, generates almost no trash, and the bags of compostables and food scraps will be returned to the earth as compost.
This year the CAC is once again helping to make the event zero-waste. They’ll also be at the event signing up residents for Scarsdale’s food scrap recycling program, or if you’d like to join the program just email composting@scarsdale.com!
